I trust Putin when he say the sanctions help Russia! So to show him our good faith, we should double the sanctions!!

[govinda]

If the Putin government is overthrown, then Ukraine should get most of the credit for they made the ultimate sacrifice over and over again.

[jcdisci]

People forget. Economics brought down the Soviet Union, not military might.

[GafferBob]

Thank you Kate and Anders. Excellent interview

[STHFGDBY]

Putin must never be allowed to walk away from his war crimes. No sanctions should ever be lifted till he's either dead or handed over for war crimes, and on top of that, democracy must be restored in Russia and a agreement reached that war reparations be paid to Ukraine. Also an agreement made that independent overseers be present to ensure future Elections be fair and legit...

This is an admirable demonstration how any journalist by asking knowlegdeable questions can interview an expert of a complex subject about a specific topical issue.

I urge everyone to read it. It destroys the Russian nonsense about how well the Russian economy is doing.

[truthbsaid]

Russia's budget for 2025 is based on a price of oil at 70 US dollars per barrel of oil. Since oil exports represent 40% of the budget revenue, just a small dip in the estimated price per barrel will throw the budget into chaos.

Europe can't just rely on sanctions. They need to help Ukraine target and reach critical infrastructure like cargo shipping and factories. Make it so that Russia has nothing to export.

He believes and convinces his people that they are invincible. “Many of you will die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make “.
